FEVER - Framework for EValuating Entity Resolution
FEVER is a new evaluation platform for entity resolution
approaches. The modular structure of the FEVER framework
supports the incorporation or reconstruction of many previously
proposed approaches for entity resolution. A distinctive feature of
FEVER is that it not only evaluates traditional measures such as
precision and recall but also the effort for configuring (e.g., parameter
tuning, training) a good entity resolution approach.
Architecture
The above figure illustrates the architecture of FEVER consisting of modules
for the definition and execution of entity resolution approaches
or so-called match workflows. A GUI-based workflow
editor allows to interactively specify match workflows utilizing
operator trees. The FEVER runtime executes a specified workflow
and, thus, generates evaluation data.
Comparative evaluation of entity resolution approaches with FEVER
Analysis of entity resolution publications
For our comparative evaluation of entity resolution approaches
in [1] we have analyzed numerous research publications w.r.t. their
evaluation of entity resolution approaches. The complete list can be found here.
